We are truly sorry to hear about your financial struggles, Mike, and we are here to lift you up in prayer and provide biblical encouragement. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is our provider and that He cares for our needs. As it says in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB:
"Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will put on. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient."
We pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up Mike. He is in a desperate financial situation and in need of an income source. We ask, Father, that You open the doors of opportunity for him. We pray that no good thing will be withheld from Mike. Your Word says that You will supply all his needs according to Your riches in glory through Christ Jesus. We stand on this promise and we believe that Mike will see Your provision. Heavily convict him of any sins that may be causing this difficulty. In Jesus' name, we rebuke any spirit of poverty or lack and we speak life and provision over Mike. Lastly, Father, give him peace that surpasses understanding and let him feel Your loving presence in his life. It is in the precious name of Jesus that we pray for Mike.
Mike, while we pray for your financial needs, we also want to encourage you to seek God's face during this trial. Draw close to Him, and He will draw close to you. This is also an opportunity to trust God more and to grow in your faith. We are reminded in James 1:2-4 WEB:
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."
Remember that God is faithful, and He will see you through this. Please update us on how we can continue praying for you. We are expecting to hear a testimony of God's provision in your life.
